Figure 5. Guide adjusted for rounding of edges
3.4.Preparation
Mount a milling head with cutting inserts and set the required bevel parameters.
Then, using the rotational speed adjusting dial, set the speed corresponding to the
type of the working material (Table 2).
Material type Rotational speed
Aluminum, brass, plastics setting 6
(5850 rpm)
Structural steel of standard quality, quality steel settings 3–5
(3100–4500 rpm)
Table 2. Recommended rotational speeds
The speed adjusting dial allows for continuous control of the rotational speed in
the range of 1800–5850 rpm (settings 1–6). The relations between the setting and
speed are: setting 1– 1800 rpm, 2– 2400 rpm, 3– 3100 rpm, 4– 3800 rpm, 5–
4500 rpm, 6– 5850 rpm.
When using structural steel of a standard quality or quality steel, set the speed to
setting 4and decrease it if intensive sparking occurs during operation.

3.5.Usage
Plug the power cord into power socket and place the machine on the left side of the
working material in the manner shown in Figure 6. The milling head must not touch
the working edge. The working material must be stable and well fixed.
Figure 6. Machine placed on plate and proper feed direction
To start the motor, press the switch lock and the ON/OFF switch, and, with the
ON/OFF switch pressed, release the lock. Wait several seconds until the machine
reaches the required rotational speed, press the machine to the working surface
using both hands, and slowly slide toward the edge until the tool starts to cut the
steel. Operate according to the counter-rotation, by sliding the machine from left to
right. The direction of the milling head rotation is indicated by the arrow on the guide.
Begin with accomplishing small bevels (3–4 mm, 0.12–0.16’’) and increase the
bevel width with gaining experience. Bevel in at least two or three passes. The bevel
width should be set to a value which will allow for the feed of 1 meter per minute
without significant effort.
If the machine becomes overloaded, e.g. when the bevel width is too large for the
material being machined or when the cutting inserts are dull, the motor will
automatically stop. However, prevent the motor from overloading by machining hard
materials in multiple passes and by replacing the inserts before they become dull.
Additionally, take periodic breaks during operation and keep the ventilation slots
clean to prevent the motor from overheating because this can lead to damage of the
windings.
Once the work is finished, turn off the motor by releasing the ON/OFF switch, wait
until the rotation stops, and unplug the power cord from power socket.

3.6.Replacement of cutting inserts
Unplug the power cord from power socket and, to achieve better access to the head,
loosen the clamping screw (1, Figure 7) and maximally lower the sleeve by rotating it
clockwise (2). Then, unscrew the screw (3) using the screwdriver supplied with the
milling head, and take out the cutting insert (4). Clean the socket and place the
rotated insert again or replace with a new one if all four edges are worn out. Then,
push and tighten the insert.
Before replacement of cutting inserts for rounding of edges, press the spindle lock
button 5and loosen the guiding roller with 5 mm hex wrench (6).
Figure 7. Method of replacing the cutting inserts
Clean the threads once a week and, if necessary, grease the mounting screws
for inserts using an agent that will prevent the bolts from blocking (e.g. copper paste).

shown in Figure 8, press the spindle lock button 1, and unscrew the roller using 5 mm
hex wrench (2).
Remove the nut and assemble the new roller with the pivot (3), placing a few
washers under the roller to keep a little distance between the roller and cutting inserts
(4). Place all unused washers between the roller and pivot, after which press the
button 1, and screw in the new roller with 5 mm hex wrench (2).

3.8.Replacement of brushes
Check condition of the carbon brushes every 200 operational hours. If their length is
less than 10 mm (0.4’’), replace them with new ones. To do this, unplug the power
cord from power socket, unscrew the cap, and take out the brush (Figure 9). Proceed
as described also for the second brush located on the opposite side of the motor.
To mount brushes, proceed in reverse order. After the replacement, run the motor
without load for 20 minutes.
